Lake Zug, Alpine lake in Central Switzerland
Lake Zug extends 14 kilometers between the cantons of Lucerne, Schwyz, and Zug, reaching depths suitable for various water activities throughout the year.
The introduction of passenger steamers on Lake Zug in 1852 established new transportation routes between local communities and enhanced regional commerce.
Several lakeside towns organize traditional Swiss music concerts and folk art exhibitions, connecting residents through shared cultural experiences along the shore.
Regular boat services connect eight different towns around Lake Zug, with departure points offering tickets, refreshments, and tourist information centers.
The Lorze River flows into Lake Zug at its northern end and exits just one kilometer westward, creating an unusual hydrological pattern.
